<t>Sounds like you are already moving ahead and that is a really positive sign. Having a really good perinatalogist is very important and will provide you (as well as you wife) with peace of mind. My wife and I were extremely blessed with an excellent perinatalogist (and his entire team) that kept u...

<t>Hi Ryan,<br/> <br/> I'm not even going to pretend that my experience with preeclampsia was anywhere near as traumatic as your experience must have been. In other words, I won't tell you that "I know how you feel"...I don't, so all I'm offering is a dad's perspective.<br/> <br/> Based on what I re...

<t>I'm also a dad and the story of your loss is a difficult one to hear; I am sorry for your loss. I have not shared a loss similar to yours.<br/> <br/> First, you're not "nuts"...you're grieving.

<r>Congratulations on the birth of your son<br/> <br/> My wife's preeclampsia bouts were both post-partum (one and five weeks after childbirth).<br/> <br/> If I were you, I would continue to watch out for your wife's blood pressure, and look out for any signs & symptoms. What to look out for can...

<t>Congratulations on the birth of your daughter<br/> <br/> My wife and I have a great doctor that is very well versed in dealing with preeclampsia and pregnancy induced hypertension.
